Summary
Our homestead sits on a ridge in central Vermont that has been home to hill farms for generations. We both grew up on nearby farms and treasure the lessons and values of those times.
Here, at Turkey Hill Farm, we are purposely working on a modest scale to develop the self-sufficient practices we feel are crucial to the future. We are eager to share insights with others who are exploring their own sustainability options. We give farming workshops, and Margaret, a traditional farm cook, offers a series of The Farmer's Kitchen Cooking Classes.
On 50-acres, we operate a raw-milk micro dairy, and take care of five milk cows, chickens, pigs, lambs, a pair of work horses, flower and vegetable gardens, and a maple sugaring operation. In our farmstore, The Moo-tique, we sell eggs from pastured hens, frozen pasture-raised meats, artisan pizzas, maple syrup, other local farm products, and books. We also sell fluid raw milk on the farm.
We offer ourselves as consultants to those who would like to learn more about any aspect of homesteading, and welcome conversation about how small-scale farming is key to surviving the future.
